Su Yi was dizzy with burning sensation, and the familiar smell made him miss it particularly. That was the smell in his dreams when he couldn't find anyone.

Liu Huan stretched out her hand and pushed him, but he hugged her tightly again, "I know you don't like it, can I just hold you for a while?"

"You always come for a short time. Can you stay with me for a little longer this time?"

Liu Huan listened to his whispered prayer and had a bold idea in his mind, but he also felt unbelievable.

"Stone, stone, look who I am?"

Su Yi didn't even raise his head and replied hoarsely: "Huanhuan, you are Huanhuan."

Liu Huan felt a pang in his heart and helped the person up from his arms. Looking at Su Yi's confused eyes, his eyes became moist.

Su Yi was very anxious and wiped her tears: "Why are you crying today? If you don't want to come, I will come to see you next time. Please don't cry, okay?"

As he said this, he lay down and closed his eyes, muttering, "Go away. It's my fault today. I made you cry. It's my fault."

He kept saying that it was his fault, and finally fell asleep.

Liu Huan was frightened by this scene and quietly left the room and closed the door, just in time to meet Changbai coming over with medicine.

"Miss, is the master awake?"

Liu Huan adjusted his mood and asked, "What is this?"

Changbai explained: "Last night, the master had a high fever and the medicine I called the doctor to prescribe will take two days to get better."

Liu Huan looked at the dark medicinal soup and said, "I'll go in with you."

After entering, Changbai woke Su Yi up. Su Yi looked into Liu Huan's eyes and his eyes lit up. "Why are you here?"

It was as if the person who had just hugged her and acted coquettishly was another person. Liu Huan was not sure if he was pretending, so she said, "I've been in for a while."

Su Yi looked apologetic, "Maybe I was sleeping too deeply and didn't notice it. I won't do it again next time."

There was no flaw in his eyes, it didn't look like he was acting at all.

Liu Huan put aside his doubts and took the medicine on the table and handed it to him, "You have a fever, drink the medicine first."

Su Yi looked at the person in front of him and suddenly became fragile, "My hands hurt so much that I can't hold the bowl."

Liu Huan put down the medicine bowl and pulled his hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"

I saw a big cut on the palm of my hand, which was a little white due to blisters. I guess it was red around it because there was no medicine applied. It looked like it was infected.

"Why didn't you take any medicine when the situation is so serious?"

Seeing that Liu Huanguo really cared about him, Su Yi said aggrievedly: "I was too busy yesterday and didn't have time to take care of it."

Liu Huan picked up the medicine bowl and fed him, "If you are injured, go see a doctor first. Don't take it lightly. It's you who is in pain."

Su Yi drank the medicine Liu Huan handed over and nodded obediently, "Yes, next time I get hurt, I will go see a doctor no matter how busy I am."

Changbai, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch. When he found out his master was injured yesterday, he was about to apply medicine to him, but was stopped by a look.

And he said coldly: "Is this little injury worth it? When did you become so hypocritical?"

Changbai originally believed that sentence, but what does it mean now?

Who is being pretentious?

Looking at the two people, one feeding medicine and the other looking weak, he felt that he should not be there and always felt that he was being disliked.

After feeding him the medicine, Liu Huan found some golden medicine to heal his hand, and took some cloth to wrap his hand into a big dumpling.

Su Yi looked at his zongzi hands and wondered if he had gone too far.

Liu Huan saw that he didn't like being forced and said, "Don't take your hands off. Tie them up for the next two days."

Su Yi nodded obediently, looking at the harmless person with moist eyes due to fever. Liu Huan could even imagine what Dao Anzhi would look like in the future.

"You take a nap first, I'll call you for dinner later."

Su Yi struggled to get up, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't sleep yet."

Liu Huan pushed the man down and said, "Nothing can be done in one day. Besides, there are other people here, so you should take care of them first."

In this way, Su Yi was forced to rest in bed and let Changbai bring the urgent and important cases to the bed to deal with them.

Changbai said worriedly: "Master, why don't you take a rest for two days."

Su Yi glanced over and said, "You talk too much."

Changbai felt aggrieved, okay, okay, he just talked too much.

Because Su Yi was sick, Liu Huan specially made shredded chicken and lean meat porridge and sent it to him.

When I went there, he seemed to have just woken up and was half asleep.

Just as he was about to get up, Liu Huan called him back, "Don't get up, just sit on the bed and eat." He then brought his plate of rice over, scooped up a spoonful and passed it to him, "Eat it, it's not hot."

Su Yi drank the porridge she fed him in a daze. Liu Huan's face turned red when he looked at him. "How does it taste?"

Su Yi licked the porridge on his lips and said, "It still tastes the same as before. Your cooking is the best."

Liu Huan pretended to be serious and fed him three bowls before stopping. He then reached out and touched his forehead. "It's still very hot. Is that medicine not working? Should we call the doctor to check it out?"

Su Yi shook his head, "No, I feel much better now."

Liu Huan didn't want to stay in the same room with him, so he went back on the pretext of having something to do.

After she left, Su Yi got up and went to the study to handle official business. Changbai came in with the bowl, but Su Yi didn't even look at him.

"Pour it out. I don't want to drink it."

Changbai: “…”

"Master, Miss asked me to watch you drink."

Su Yi gave him an unhappy look, "If you want to listen to her, why don't you go and follow her."

Changbai felt wronged and was really in a difficult position.

Changbai looked at the medicine in the bowl and didn't know what to do. Su Yi took it and poured it out of the window. "Take it and say I've already drunk it."

When the two children came back that night and heard about it, they were very worried and ran directly to Su Yi's room. An Ran asked nervously, "Daddy, what happened to you?"

Su Yi was afraid that the disease would spread to the child, so he kept him away from the child, "Don't come over, Daddy is sick and taking medicine."

When An Ran heard about taking medicine, she didn't want to go. She didn't want to drink bitter medicine.

An Zhi heard him coughing and frowned, "Are you still not feeling well after taking the medicine?"

Su Yi was surprised that his son would care about him, so he said loudly: "It's okay, Daddy is in good health."

Because he was sick, Su Yi only spoke a few words to them and let them go back.

At night, Su Yi felt unwell all over and wondered if it was because he didn't take the medicine. He asked Changbai to bring him the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and he drank it, then fell asleep in a daze.

The next day when Liu Huan came to see him again, he couldn't be woken up again, and he just muttered something she couldn't understand.

Even worse than last time.

Liu Huan asked Changyun to find a doctor quickly, but he didn't expect to get the news that many villagers outside the city were sick and all the doctors in the city had been called over.

Liu Huan then realized the seriousness of the situation. He lifted up Su Yi's clothes and indeed saw the rash inside.

She staggered back and called Changyun to ask, "Where have you been recently? Has anyone there had a fever?"

Changyun thought about it carefully and it seemed that it really existed.

"Miss, the places we have been to in the past few days are several villages on both sides of the river that have been severely affected by the disaster. I heard from the doctor that people there seem to be having fever as well."

Liu Huan immediately called Qiu Rong and Qiu Ju, "Go and find An Zhi and the others and keep them in the yard. Don't go anywhere else. Remember, come find me anywhere."

Seeing her so serious, Qiu Rong knew that something bad must have happened, so she asked worriedly, "Miss, what happened?"

Liu Huan expressed his suspicions and instructed the two, "Don't spread rumors before this matter is confirmed. Just do as I say, and do the same to the people of the Su family."

Qiu Rong asked with red eyes: "But Miss, what will you do?"

Liu Huan comforted the two, "Don't worry, I'm with your Master Su. I trust you the most, you must take good care of this family for me, okay?"

Without saying anything more, the three of them went their separate ways.

Liu Huan put on a veil and made a simple mask with a handkerchief inside, and asked Changyun to take him to visit several disaster-stricken villages.

We found dead poultry and turbid sewage all over the ground, which was obviously what was washed out when the hut was flooded, and the stench was terrible.

When I walked to a house, I saw a villager dissecting a pig that had turned white and swollen.

Her eyes went dark and she hurried forward to ask, "Old man, this pig looks like it has been dead for a long time. Can we eat it?"

The old man smiled sincerely, "It looks like this pig has been fed for half a year. The Chinese New Year is just a few months away. It would be a pity if it drowned. I will kill it and pickle it with salt so that it can be eaten for a long time."

Liu Huan thought this was the old man's house, but it wasn't.

It just arrived at the old man's doorstep today. He has been used to saving money for many years, so how could he miss this opportunity?

Liu Huan could smell the faint stench of the pig, and his nose felt sore as he said, "Uncle, this meat smells stinky. I'm afraid it can't be eaten."

The old man comforted her and said, "It's okay. The odor will disappear if you salt it."

As the old man was speaking, the knife in his hand had already stabbed into the pig's stomach, and instantly turbid and smelly blood gushed out.

Liu Huan subconsciously stepped back, and the old man said happily that it was good meat, as if he couldn't smell it.

I saw several children and villagers picking up dead poultry on the ground, and some of them were still coughing.

What's there to not understand? This is just the kind of environment that should be in chaos.

When Liu Huan found the doctor who was treating the villagers, the doctor was a little confused.

"Why are there so many patients with fever?"

"Uncle Ma!"

Uncle Ma was the doctor who took Liu Huan's pulse when she was pregnant. Because of fate, the two families were familiar with each other, so Liu Huan always called him uncle.

When Doctor Ma saw that it was her, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Liu Huan, why are you here?"

Liu Huan looked at the people lying on the ground coughing and asked worriedly, "Uncle Ma, can you tell what's wrong with these people?"

Doctor Ma stroked his beard and thought, "It's strange. I've seen many patients, but I've never seen so many of the same ones."

The moment the two were talking, the medicine boy came over and said, "Master, someone over there is dying."

When Liu Huan followed, the man was gone, and there were many rash-like things on his hands and soles of his feet.

Doctor Ma was about to go forward to check but Liu Huan stopped him, "Don't touch him!"

Doctor Ma took back his hand and asked, "Why?"

Liu Huan swallowed and said seriously: "So many people have similar illnesses, and they also have rashes, and it was after being flooded."

At this point, Doctor Ma immediately understood what was going on. He stood a few meters away from the corpse and asked tentatively, "Are you talking about smallpox?"

The people around him changed their expressions instantly when they heard this word. The medicine boy asked tremblingly: "Master, Master, what should we do now?"

In order to avoid causing panic, Doctor Ma called Liu Huan and the people around him into the tent.

"At my age, I have never seen what smallpox looks like, so I dare not say what it is. I am not well-trained enough to treat these people. Goodbye."

Liu Huan knew that he was afraid. Who wouldn't be afraid? That was smallpox, not just any rash or chickenpox.

"Uncle Ma..."

Doctor Ma turned around and kindly reminded, "Liu Huan, if what you said is true, then this is an unsolvable problem. You'd better run."

Doctor Ma left with the medicine boy. The person lying on the ground didn't know what had happened and thought that the doctor just went to prepare medicine.

On the way back, Liu Huan and Chang Bai asked tentatively, "Miss, is what you said true?"

Liu Huan's face was heavy. "It's almost certain. I'm afraid this time it will be really difficult."

After returning, the doctor from the yamen had already returned from another place, and several people went to Su Yi's room together.

Su Yi has gotten up, his forehead is not so hot anymore, and he looks much better.

After checking the patient's pulse, the doctor said, "Your Excellency looks much better now. You should be fully recovered in two days."

Judging from this, the symptoms are not similar to those of smallpox. Once you get smallpox, it will never heal easily.

Su Yi saw that Liu Huan was covering himself tightly and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Huan shook her head and began to doubt whether she had made a wrong judgment.

Su Yi was worried, so he stood up and touched her forehead, and was relieved to see that she didn't have a fever.

"Go back and rest if you have nothing else to do. I've been sick these past two days and you've worked hard."

Liu Huan shook her head, but still expressed her concerns. Even if she was worrying too much, she didn't want to cause irreversible consequences.

Everyone present was also stunned when they heard this, especially the doctor from the yamen, who hurriedly asked Liu Huan how he knew this.

"I don't know either. It's just that all of these are similar to the symptoms of smallpox I read about in books. They all happened after a disaster, so I..."

Her guess was not unreasonable, Su Yi immediately said: "Changbai, go and gather everyone to the government office."

He wanted to pull Liu Huan away but was afraid that he might be dirty. "Can you please go back first? No matter what happens, don't come out."

Liu Huan saw the worry in his eyes and shook his head helplessly, "It's too late. I've already been in contact with those patients."

Su Yi wanted to say something, but Changbai interrupted him by saying that someone had arrived. "Wait for me here first. I'll be back soon."

Liu Huan waited all night but no one showed up. Only Changbai came and said, "The master is busy. You should rest first."

The atmosphere in the yamen became increasingly solemn, so solemn that the entire Nanchang County felt uneasy.

Su Yi immediately wrote a report to his superiors, gathered all the patients together, and destroyed all the hanging meat door to door.

Limestone was spread everywhere, the city gates were closed, and suspicious people were checked one by one.

Anyone with fever or cough should be locked up immediately.

A notice was posted stating that no one was allowed to leave without permission, otherwise they would be treated as deserters.
